Machine learning researcher

Seyed Rasoul Hosseini

I study how learning systems adapt to changing data while preserving useful knowledge.

My work focuses on online multimodal continual learning, self-supervised learning, and computer vision.

About

Learning from a world that does not stand still

I am a PhD student in Electrical Engineering at West Virginia University, advised by Dr. Gianfranco Doretto, and a visiting student at the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute at the University of Utah.

My research explores continual and self-supervised learning for visual and multimodal systems. I am interested in models that can learn online, respond to distribution shifts, and retain knowledge over time.

  • Continual Learning

    Online adaptation under changing data distributions.

  • Multimodal Learning

    Representations that connect visual and textual signals.

  • Computer Vision

    Visual recognition, representation learning, and robust perception.
